Kushner, Witkoff conflicts of interest cast shadow over US-Iran talks - The Briefing w/Jen Psaki - MS NOW

Jen Psaki looks at the complicated financial entanglements Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and fellow real estate developer Steve Witkoff have in the Middle East where the interests of the United States may diverge from those of countries like Saudi Arabia which wields significant financial influence over the two top U.S. negotiators assign to resolve Trump's war with Iran. - Aired on 04/15/2026.

1. If *rump doesn't have agency because Putin and/or Netanyahu have something on him, then by default

Kushner and Witkoff over and above all their conflicts of interest could never accept a peace deal without waiting on whoever is at the top of the chain of command to approve of it first.

As it is, this is all just for show because if *rump doesn't have ultimate authority, they don't either.

Thanks for the thread Rhiannon

2. I completely agree and of course I was suspicious of these "negotiators" from the beginning

As Jen said, they both have their own goals in the Middle East, and, as you said, neither of them have ultimate approval.
